Giant Steamed Maya-Maya with Chili Sauce has very little cholesterol content, which makes it ideal as a birthday offering for our lolos and lolas. It has a truly flavorful blend that comes from the combination of tamarind paste, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, cilantro, fish sauce - and more. Very Asian in texture, aroma and flavors.
